Voters have turned down a multi-million dollar bond proposal to construct a new middle and high school facility in the East China School District. The $148 million dollar bond proposal would combine St. Clair and Marine City’s middle and high schools into a consolidated campus on Meisner Road.  In a statement from the East China School District, officials say yesterday’s turnout was the largest ever for a millage election in the district, at just over 9000 voters. The district also say they will, “continue to seek feedback and input as we work to find solutions to our funding crisis.”
